| Obverse description | Selectively gold-plated effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief against a polished silver field. The portrait, designed by Steven Rosati, presents the King in a naturalistic and unadorned style without a crown or diadem. The legend CHARLES III arcs along the left rim and D·G·REX along the right rim, both in Latin script. A beaded inner border separates the legend from the central portrait, and the engraver's initials SR appear discreetly in the lower field near the truncation. The broad outer rim is finished with selective gold plating, providing a striking contrast to the frosted silver portrait. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, top-down circular interpretation of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Ontario. At the centre, the sarcophagus's three-tiered construction in dark Caledonia granite is depicted, with its bronze overlay faithfully re-created featuring branches of maple and laurel leaves entwined around a medieval sword and a First World War-era helmet. Surrounding the central tomb, four ornamental elements are symmetrically positioned at the cardinal and intercardinal points of the design: three replicas of the Memorial (Silver) Cross, each bearing the Royal Cypher of a different ruling monarch—George V, George VI, and Elizabeth II—since the award's inception in 1919, together with a replica of a poppy. Roses and poppies, positioned near the 11 o'clock position, are depicted as floral tributes laid in commemoration. The legend CANADA DOLLAR and the date 2025 appear within the field, with the engraver's initials PY inscribed discreetly. |
